Every time I head down to Sherwood I notice the increasing amount of slightly denser housing going in. Mostly detached SFH and townhomes.
You know what I don't see?
Any evidence of increased transit reach, or commercial services.
They are widening Roy Rodgers to handle all the extra traffic that this housing will generate. Gotta make room for the suburbanites to drive their oversized not-cars to Safeway to pick up a gallon of milk.

For my Canadian followers, that's about three bags of milk.

@yantor3d Vancouver I think a few years back instituted a new default of allowing increased density near existing transit; SFH -> 8 apartments. a ton of infill has happened, and while there's currently blowback, proves that if you allow it, they will come! You don't need to build new transit, you just need to add more riders.
